THE BEST OF THE BOLSHOI: THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER

185 min | NR
A young English Lord traveling through Egypt takes shelter in a pyramid with local characters. After a round of opium, the new friends begin to have fantastic dreams about the Pharaoh’s daughter rising from her tomb and enchanting them. THE PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER was originally a hit when first staged in 1862, but fell out of favor with the Soviet regime. In 2000, Pierre Lacotte was commissioned to resurrect Petipa’s mighty Egyptian fresco, and it became a hit yet again.
